Resurfacing from wedding madness~!

Sorry, I think, I'll be saying that a lot in the next few weeks, but I'm under the gun!  Last week it was finishing the guide and Molly's wedding, this week, the wedding behind us, it's still the guide, AND preparing for our trip to Portland for the Indie Wine Festival!  Yikes, Alice Feiring and Clark Smith have me shaking in my boots!  An oh, I have to finish the guide before I leave!  I don't think there are enough hours in the day, but I really felt I should check in and tell you what's going on here!

Had a wonderful time at the wedding.  From Wednesday on, I wasn't at my computer at all, except to print out programs! Family and friends were arriving non-stop and we were running around trying to finalize all of the last minute details of the big day! 

Tuesday, everyone came over to our house for an impromptu get together, we ordered pizzas and everyone helped "dispose"  (consume)  the samples I had opened that day to taste for the guide.  There were quite a few, but by the end of the evening there was hardly anything left! 

Wednesday we had a "winery visit and tasting"  here and then all went to Terroirs in Uzès for a great dinner on the Place aux Herbs, one of the first warm nights we've had!  I will admit I drank a bit too much wine and was a bit slow Thursday morning, but we were drinking Mas de Libian "Bout de Zan" and Rouge Garance Rosé, they both go down so easily!

Thursday we went to one of our favorite spots, called "Anne-Sophie  Huitres et Vignes"  it's a little old stone house out in the middle of the vineyards that Anne-Sophie restored and now serves ice-cold oysters and crisp white wine.  It's a great setting, casual and fun, and I love oysters!! 

Friday was the wedding, non stop rush from morning 'till dawn.  Saturday, I collapsed, did nothing. 

Yesterday I racked some of the 2007 grenache which is tasting great!  Matt went to the vineyards and sprayed 500 (a biodynamic preparation good for the soil)  with a back pack sprayer.  Fun Fun Fun!

Now I'm writing,  writing, writing, trying to finish before we leave, well you can see, I still found a way to procrastinate!
